York County woman takes boxing to the business ring

Lisa Bolin is trying to become a champion - in and out of the boxing ring.

As a welterweight fighter, the York County woman is preparing for an upcoming title fight in Raleigh, N.C.

As a businesswoman, Bolin has opened the Champs Gym at 3924 York St. in Sharon. The gym, open 3 to 9 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, has been up and running for about a month. The cost is $1 a day. So far, Bolin said, the gym has become home to about 30 aspiring boxers, ages 13 to 19.

The gym also has treadmills and weights and offers group fitness classes.
